Le Petit-Témis
Presentation
Take time to discover Le Petit Témis at your own pace, between Rivière-du-Loup and the shores of Lake Témiscouata. Built on an old railroad line, this gravel trail takes you through forests, open spaces and welcoming villages. With every pedal stroke, you'll enjoy a peaceful environment, ideal for unwinding from the daily grind. Whether you're riding with family or friends, the route invites you to pause, breathe and savor the moment.
You’ll be riding on a well-maintained gravel trail suitable for hybrid and touring bikes. The route is easy to follow, with a gentle and steady elevation gain, making it perfect for beginner and intermediate cyclists. Along the entire route, you’ll have access to convenient amenities such as restrooms, picnic areas, parking lots, and rustic camping sites.
